The Living Force
Hi Guys
Something I couldn't quite pin down has been bothering me during the covid "pandemic". I finally managed to pin this down and it's that we're living through quite historic times where a form of "hybrid" mass pathology has taken a life of its own and is now a runaway train.
It's quite paradoxical because most are miserable yet most enable it to continue by the sheer act of taking a passive approach i.e. that is by obeying the rules and hoping like a bad dream that one day they'll wake up and everything will be back to what they thought of as normal. It's quite amazing that we are miserable yet we allow our misery to continue - why?
I think it's like sleep paralysis. People are caught in a state of paralysis. They are trapped in a state of terror but are immobilised. The terror is a new one, it's quite disorientating. I don't have a language for it and this makes it that more terrifying and disorientating. We have words and language that speaks of terror from a different time, from various periods in history but those words don't directly translate to our time, to our period. I believe the situation is like walking through a room full of "mirrors of illusion" where the mirrors take the light (the truth) and twist and turn it such that the reflection back completely puts you off balance. I believe this is what most are experiencing - the PTB have taken things we knew to be true and twisted and distorted them such that the reflection back completely disorients and paralyses people. For example - "Save the NHS", "Act like you have it", Stay home save lives"....
In feeling my whole Being overwhelmed by the unrelenting nature of the situation and in noticing my passivity to it, I've felt the need to do something. But what? Finally, something has called to me. I want to accumulate language, metaphors, stories that can help people make sense of what they are seeing or feeling. Language that can correct the illusion from those "mirrors of illusion". I think for the language to make sense it must have meaning in today's world, in this context.
A weird story for example came to mind and it's in relation to the Spanish inquisition that resulted in "witch burnings". Isn't it weird how these "witches" were being burned because they were being accused of ushering in heresy that would result in damnation for the people (according to the "ruling elites").... Doesn't this directly parallel what is now in motion regarding people telling the truth or providing information that sheds light on government propaganda? Aren't these people "heretics" or modern day "witches"... Aren't they being accused of endangering lives? What's to become of these people? We're now hearing stories of health passports and systems being brought into place to divide citizen rights between those who are "obedient and God-fearing" (read, obedient and Government-fearing) and those who are heretics where the former are allowed into heaven (read allowed "rights" and "freedoms") and the latter end up in hell (read as outcasts in this new society). But of course, like back then God (read Government) allows us the chance to redeem ourselves, we can repent, ask for forgiveness and take on a righteous path (read, we can start to believe the propaganda, take the vaccines and whatever else they deem we should take). So in this regard you can see that our fate is not sealed in the eyes of God... The choice remains ours and God in his infinite wisdom and mercy provides us many opportunities to change our ways.
To me that story shows that there are some stories within the realm of religion that can be brought forth to help make sense of what is happening now and help ones contextualise the situation and their place in it and those of others.
I think there are many such stories from many parables or events in history that can be translated to our situation to help shed light on what is happening plus help people endure as in the end I don't think there's stopping this train.
I think the real battle is that of the mind and in fortifying it against the onslaught that is in progress and expanding. To use religion, the devil and his temptations will only get stronger and he will always have a path lined with gold open for us. All we have to do to stop our suffering is accept his offer, accept his vaccine, accept his propaganda etc and we can go back to all we knew to be true and good. But alas, we know that when it comes to the devil, everything is an illusion. So we have to remain strong and hold our ground even as his temptations become more and more tempting whilst our suffering increases and increases.
I think there's many ways to contextualise this situation, many ways to tell the story directly and indirectly that can bring meaning and highlight evil where it truly lies and also highlight that we haven't escaped history that indeed things are happening now that we learnt about and said we would never allow to happen again. More than anything I think people need to wake up to the fact that they aren't any more evolved than those who allowed slavery to happen or allowed the concentration camps or allowed "witches" to be burnt at the stake. People need to understand that the forces that worked to allow people to accept those things back then can and still can work to allow new nightmares today.
I think it's time for the Sebastian Haffners' of this day and age to step forward. It's time for the story tellers, the myth makers, the legend writers to step forward and use the power of dreams and imagination to shed light on the evil that now prevails.
